Protists in oral cavity of humans and animals.
Brixí, Kateřina ; Tachezy, Jan (advisor) ; Rada, Petr (referee)
Trichomonas tenax, Trichomonas gallinae, Trichomonas gypaetinii, Trichomonas stableri, Trichomonas equibuccalis, Trichomonas brixi, Tetratrichomonas canistomae, Tetratrichomonas felistomae and Tetratrichomonas empyemagena are unicellular eukaryotes (protists) that may occur in oral cavity of humans and domestic animals. These protozoans are mostly referred as commensals and relatively low attention is paid to them, since they usually are not primary cause of serious health problems. However, based on current knowledge, it can be concluded that more appropriate term for Entamoeba gingivalis and Trichomonas tenax would be an opportunistic pathogen, while Trichomonas gallinae is a primary pathogen. There are very little studies and findings about the rest of oral protozoans and their pathogenicity, therefore it is not possible to assess their significance for a host. Nevertheless, the oral protozoans should not be neglected, as in some cases they can cause serious health complications in their host.

The effect of carbohydrate mouth rinse on endurance performance
Stuparič, Jan ; Vilikus, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Větrovská, Renata (referee)
This bachelor thesis is focused on the effect of carbohydrate mouth rinse (CMR) on endurance performance. CMR is considered to be one of the effective nutritional strategies that increases endurance performance in duration from 30-90 minutes. The aim of this thesis was to determine whether CMR can improve performance in a running 30-minute test with self-selected pace and set rate of perceived exertion. All of that without any prior significant influence on nutritional status. Two trials were realized - with and without CMR. Total distance covered during a stated time period was compared, as well as the rate of subjective feelings during the physical activity in the sense of pleasure-displeasure using the Feeling scale. The heart rate was compared as well. Under specified conditions the ergogenic effect of CMR was not confirmed, on the contrary 6 of 8 participants performed worst in the trial with CMR compared to one without CMR. Five participants mentioned enhanced feelings of pleasure to some extent, but the differences were minimal. Regarding heart rate little difference were indicated in the case of average heart rate, when higher values were detected in six participants. However, overall significant effect of CMR on heart rate was not shown. For the efficient implication of CMR into the...

Importance of enzymatic solutions (Enzymel) in postoperative treatment of upper respiratory tract wounds
Šimurdová, Marcela ; Tomová, Šárka (advisor) ; Nikodemová, Hana (referee)
Bakalářská práce Význam Enzymelu v pooperačním ošetřování ran v horních cestách dýchacích 1 Abstract Healing surgical wounds in upper respiratory tract is often difficult and painful due to constant presence of food (contamination), movements during talking and continuous presence of aggressive saliva. Most of the surgery clinics use natural solutions especially chamomile to accelerate healing and to remove patient's postoperative problems. Gel Enzymel parodont, which contains proteolytic enzymes and its application limits bacteria production and accelerates healing of the surgical wounds, hasn't been used in a clinical treatment in surgical ORL yet and its effects on healing haven't been studied. The theoretical part of this study is focused on a brief introduction of selected surgical procedures in upper respiratory tract and the corresponding nursing process including a summary of possible complications in the postoperative period. The empirical part of the thesis contains a summary of the results of non-standardized questionnaire survey, which was conducted on selected patients of the ORL (ENT) Clinic of Motol University Hospital. Using a surrogate survey of a selected group of patients (80 in total), data were obtained to compare the effectiveness of the investigated agents, especially in the area of...

Non randomised selection of a group of dental patients, a study of relations between risk factors and the state of dental health.
Nekůžová, Dora ; Ehler, Edvard (advisor) ; Přívratský, Vladimír (referee)
In my thesis I focused on the relationship between the influence of risk factors and the dental health status. The evaluation of the results was made on the basis of testing and verification of the set hypotheses, using my own graphs and statistical evaluation (in the program Statistica 6.0). For the research I used the data of 613 dental patients. I could draw these data from the provided file of their medical cards. The study is divided into the theoretical and practical part. In the theoretical part I focused on the anatomical structure of teeth, on dental caries, dental stone, and their creation and prevention. A large part of my work is dedicated to disease of the oral cavity and its hygiene. In this section I deal with various types of periodontal diseases (chronica of gingivitis, periodontitis) and their prevention. The practical part deals with the hypotheses themselves. I set seven hypotheses. The set hypotheses focus on risk factors, namely sex, residence, age, oral hygiene, frequency of preventive medical examinations, and illnesses which the patients suffer from. I evaluated the influence of these risk factors with regard to the cariosity and overall dental health of the dental patients. The results show that there is a difference in the state of the dental health according to the gender (the...

The importance of oral hygiene on adults with the focus on preventive measures resulting in the reduction of oral cavity diseases frequency.
KÁPLOVÁ, Hana
The Dissertation work presented herein monitors the significance of oral hygiene in adults, while aiming at preventive measures leading to lowering mouth cavity illness occurrences. Within the theoretical part, I focus on the delineation of important terms relating to preventive care for oral cavity, information concerning anatomy, physiology of oral cavity, influence of foods and other problems within the oral cavity, among which there are tooth cavities and diseases of gingiva. In the practical part of the work I aim on the assessment of the level of oral health, trough the help of applied clinical research methodologies and investigative tooth indices such as API, PBI, and CPITN. Furthermore, educational materials are passed on, for the purpose of dissemination of needed information in the area of dental hygiene, teaching correct teeth brushing techniques, and utilization of other between-the-tooth tools. The following graphic presentation reveals the level of dental health. As well, within my work, I have verified that, within a larger proportion of patients an improved oral hygiene ensued; thanks to educational program together with an improved home oral hygiene care. Familiarity, care of oral cavity and dental hygiene are the most important prerequisites for each individual, when attempting to improve dental health.

The function of primary and secondary prevention in influencing occurrence reduction of periodontium ailments among older school-aged
KÁPLOVÁ, Hana
The Bachelor?s Thesis presented herein monitors the role of primary and secondary prevention among older school-aged children and its influence on reduction of occurrences of Periodontium diseases. Within the theoretical part of this Thesis I focused on delineation of important terminology with respect to preventive care of oral cavity, among which we recognize tooth cavities and ailments of gingiva. Within the practical part I focused on assertive examination of plaque and tartar; these help us, through a research methodology and investigative tooth indices API, PBI, CPITN to assess the level of oral health. Furthermore, educational materials are provided; for the necessary education in the area of dental hygiene, procedures for correct tooth cleaning techniques, and utilization of other tools for between-tooth cleaning. Consequent evaluation of graphic parts of work provide an evidence of the level of dental health.Concurrently, within my work, I have ascertained that within a larger proportion of patients a better conditions of Periodontium ensue, thanks to the educational program, as well as to better care of oral cavity within patient?s homes. Acquired knowledge, care of oral cavity and dental hygiene are important foundations to each individual, wishing to improve his or her dental health.
